Yeah, I'm not enjoying this too much. I refuse to mess it up, but still don't like it. It definitely helps to stay busy and drink lots of Water. My surgery is Aug 3. Sometimes it seems like its right around the corner and sometimes (like today when I'm frustrated with the diet) it seems like forever. I know it will go quickly overall, but its dragging butt today.

I am struggling today as well. I need a NAP! I am so tired that i'm having trouble focusing and I really, really do want to go back to bed--and it's only 10:34 am. I''m on day 4 of this and it's veg Soup and Protein shake, and Protein Shake and veg Soup and for some variety, some more Protein Shake.< /p>

Like you, I refuse to mess it up, but by golly, August 2nd can NOT come fast enough.

Where will you guys be? I'll be at Mi Doctor in Tijuana' date=' and then the Marriott.[/quote']

We're going to Dr Alvarez in Mexico. I tell you what, it's really good to do it together. If we weren't accountable to each other, I wonder if I wouldn't be "just" snacking on a "small something". But since we're doing the pre-op together, there will be no cheating :)

I was supposed to do 7 days but he had to do 14 days so I'm doing it with him. I remind him once a day that's it true love to go on an extra 7 day liquid diet just to keep him company :P

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
